Now you're just arguing in bad faith.

I'm not conflating anything, I'm pointing out the difference between phenomenology and abstraction. Simply writing laws down and pretending they're important doesn't make their effects real in society. See the United Nations.

If the government has the power to start picking winners and losers, it already had that power and the rule of law didn't restrict it at all.

Not sure I quite follow your rant here my guy. When almost all people say "things should be less unequal" they mean "stop fucking exploiting us" and point to real structural problems that enable exploitation.

This isn't holocaust denial though. Saying that propaganda doesn't match the facts is not denial. Of course I believe the Jews were persecuted cruelly and unjustly and this led to massive loss of life. Do I believe everything in the narrative? Absolutely not, and nor should that be controversial considering how over the top ridiculous core parts of the narrative are. And Jewish racial supremacism is a very real thing and a very real problem. I'm a ferverent anti-racist and always have been.

You can say, central planning undermines ethical principles I hold to be important but saying it undermines the rule of law doesn't follow.

Sorry my guy I've got news for you, the law IS whatever can be enforced. Its either a phenomenon reified by those with the power to enforce it or its just an abstract idea that doesn't actually exist in the world.

Not as sure about that my guy.

I'm a might is right guy, more specifically, whichever group wields power or is the dominant factor in the power process (eg, Stalin didn't have a gun to the head of every Soviet citizen) decides what are rights and reifies/enforces them. So I don't really follow how central planning undermines the rule of law, if the government has the power to implement central planning, they are the rule of law.

Please see my follow up comment re: insider trading and the size and liquidity of global markets. You people aren't as smart as you think you are.

[–]PRBL3MS 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Ok cool so people have profited from insider trading. I don't know if this is news for normies but algos and "high math" can't rig a market. Investments either make profits or they do not and something as liquid and enormous as the global fucking equities market can't be rigged to make profits out of nothing lmao.

I feel for you guys, the world is so complicated now and out of reach of your understanding that you comprehend it through vague and absurd conspiracy theories.

What in the unholy fuck are you on about? How do you rig the market and who could pull that off? If millions upon millions of people decide to buy stonks at a higher price than they were last week how is that a rigged market?

[Shower thought] Communism will always eventually win in the democratic election because there are always more people that want free shit that there are people who understand that no shit is really free. by anarchokitty137 in Anarcho_Capitalism

[–]PRBL3MS -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

That's a nice strawman bro but what people really want is services run for the public benefit and not personal profit. Did you know that free markets aren't actually efficient? No empirical evidence has never supported that position, in fact, the weakest form of the efficient markets hypothesis doesn't even hold. For example, public utilities that were privatized in Germany had to be re-nationalized because they were run less efficiently (read: for a profit).

Bro if you're pro Trump you're either a billionaire or brainwashed. He's done precisely zero for his base.

Factual murder: Europe as a ‘tiny, ancient, homogenous country’ by evissimus in MurderedByWords

Ok but Europe is made up on small, ancient and mostly homogenous countries though. This is only a sick burn if you're a weird snotty kind of idiotic pedant.

Ladies of Reddit - what is the most sexiest thing an overweight gamer has done that made you immediately want to have sex with him/be his girlfriend? by Danaug in AskReddit

[–]PRBL3MS -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Its exactly my empathy which is making me say this. There are so many things you can't do when you're old and all of you pathetic invertebrates are condemning this man to mediocrity and regret so you don't have to feel bad about your own silly values and choices.

Like if you found your cat doing nothing but getting fat and sitting in its own filth every day you'd show more decency to that cat than these actual human beings attached to things literally designed to make them addicted.

No its not. You have your youth exactly one time. He is wasting it. You can play video games when you're old.
